I came to this position in an unlikely way. My wife works in law, at Wolf Rifkin, and one day Don Fritsch came to give a lecture on First Legal. He made such an impression on her that I turned to Don the following week. At the time, I was looking for a change. I wanted to try something new. Coincidentally, Don set up an investigation bureau here in Vegas. Originally, I wanted to be an investigator, but I had a background in customer service. I love my current job and have been here for 3 and a half years now. Located just outside the city, First Legal is the leading provider of litigation support services in Las Vegas.

By the time my wife met Don, I was working on a website for a lawyer, which made me think about the legal field. I had worked as a runner before and, as I said, Don made a big impression on First Legal, so it seemed like a good decision. “I`ve looked at every aspect of First Legal and I have to say they`re the best at what they do. I planned many statements, some of which required special support, and there was never a problem. The staff is at the top of every order and checks if everything is in order. I also have a lot of praise for their court/messenger services. People are so knowledgeable and pick up every little thing that could prevent your document from being filed.
They alert you to the problem and solve it. The investigation department helped me in a number of ways. I had them stake people and serve them when no one else could. They found people when we were at an impasse. They seized property and kept the chain of custody so that no questions were asked. They are professional and extremely good at what they do and that is why I recommend them without hesitation. When did you know you wanted to work in investigations?
